Employee Spotlight: Leah, Direct Project Coordinator
7/18/2017 (Permalink)
It begins with Leah and ends "Like it never even happened."
This month we shine the spotlight on Leah, our newly appointed Direct Project Coordinator.
In her new role, Leah handles water damage claims from soup to nuts – beginning with client’s first call, she sees the projects through to completion, working closely with the SERVPRO team, clients, and third parties.
Leah joined the SERVPRO of East Pasco team last fall, initially as a Project Coordinator partnered with a Project Manager working on reconstruction projects. Succeeding in that position, she seized the opportunity to move over to the company’s direct work side of the business. Leah’s experience, confidence, and calming nature made her a perfect fit for her new role.
We asked Leah a few questions about her job.
Every day you field calls from clients facing disasters in their homes and businesses. What is the first thing you want them to know?
They need to know that “We are here to help!” Customers aren’t calling because their house is full of cupcakes and rainbows. One of the most stressful times you’ll face as a home/business owner is when disaster strikes and it’s imperative to know that I will assist in any way that I can.
What advice do you have for a homeowner or business owner who needs to call SERVPRO?
Stay calm. Like I said, we're here to help, and our team has seen thousands of unique water damages over our 25 years in operation.
When you call SERVPRO, we will ask the following specific details about your home:
- Name/address/phone number
- What caused your water loss?
- Has the leak been fixed?
- How many rooms were affected?
- What type of flooring do you have?
- Is there standing water? Water or electric available?
- Were walls or ceilings affected?
- Do you see visible mold?
- All pertinent insurance information
What is the best part of your new job?
The best part of my job is being able to use my calm nature to assist customers during their loss and to make it “Like it never even happened.” I enjoy working a job from start to finish and being a consistent point of contact for the customer, the adjusters, and our team making the process run smoothly and more effectively.
